This is money.
> FB profile
This contains information about who you are (psychologically and physically). It can be used to change your mind about things with/without you realizing.
Though I'm not disagreeing with your point that one was an accident/bad practice while the other one was willful malice.
What I do disagree with (that OP mentioned) is that you can opt out of Facebook. They do keep shadow profiles of non-users as well. It's just as easy to opt out of SSNs as it is to opt out of Facebook.
- ucaetano 9y ago"This is money." x "This contains information about who you are (psychologically and physically)." Well, that becomes a personal opinion call about what you care more about, not a objective comparison. > It's just as easy to opt out of SSNs as it is to opt out of Facebook. Yeah, no, it isn't. You can easily isolate yourself from Fb, even if you still use it. And I think you've never went through identity theft, to think that. Identity theft can easily lead to bankruptcy, losing a job, tens of thousands in debt, etc.
- khedoros1 9y agoMoney is what allows me to provide a good lifestyle to my family. Facebook, well...I don't get my news there. Most of my profile is blank, false, or misleading. A decade ago, I used it for more. Now, it's a couple of technical discussion groups and the event calendar. Facebook is a blip. Equifax is the reason that I spent a lot of last week defending my bank account and cell service from takeover.
